Celery update

Our celery is going strong - its been about a week and a half since we started growing it! As of yesterday (Friday the 17th of August) it was 4.5 inches tall!! (from the bottom of the dish up)

We noticed some roots growing out of the bottom and decided to plant it. The children were very excited to get their hands dirty! We have it planted in a large pot and are going to continue to watch it grow.

We asked the children of we should eat it when it got big and they thought we were silly to think of such an idea - so this has sprung into talking about farming. :). What a perfect topic considering harvesting season is creeping up on us! We will be researching a possible field trip soon ! ;)
